When booking a party for a set amount of time (let's say 1 hour), I've noticed that sometimes the clock starts as soon as I pay at the window. However, after paying, I sometimes stop by the bar to get a drink to bring to the party + go to the room + shower + set some music + sometimes even the lady showers or refreshes herself (which I think it's great for sanitary reasons). Point is the party doesn't really start until 15 to 20 mins after the time I paid at the window.
Then, 40 to 45 mins into the party, we hear the annoying "time to rebook" intercom.
So, one question and one suggestion for the house:
Question: is the "party time" supposed to be inclusive or exclusive of the shower / prep time?
Suggestion: if the answer is "exclusive", meaning the agreed party time doesn't include time to shower and getting prepared to start the party, should the house add extra 15 mins or so to the times we agree to with the ladies?
or... if the 15 min suggestion doesn't work, then have the lady call via intercom the cashier once we are both showered and ready to start and say "starting party", and that's when the clock starts?
Just trying to avoid more time misunderstandings and improve the experience. Thanks for listening.
